Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce

Only three ingredients to make Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce. Perfect for the holiday table.

We love this homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I even use the leftovers to make my Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Loin.

You can start this slow cooker cranberry sauce in just minutes in your slow cooker.  My mom loves homemade cranberry sauce, but she never has the time to make it.

Years and years ago I made a stove-top cranberry sauce from Barefoot Contessa and my mom still talks about it today. She often gets the homemade style cranberry sauce from Costco for our holiday dinner.  I created this easy slow cooker version that cooks all by itself, no babysitting from me.

How to make homemade cranberry sauce in the slow cooker:

You will need:

• 24 oz. fresh cranberries (two 12-oz. packages)
• 12 ounces orange marmalade (I use Bonne Mamam)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (add to taste)

• Add the cranberries to the slow cooker and pour over the orange marmalade. Stir until the cranberries are coated with the marmalade.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

• When the cooking time is up, take a wooden spoon and stir and pop any unpopped cranberries.
• Add brown sugar to taste (I add a half cup to mine).

What can I do with extra cranberry sauce?

• Use on toast like jam.
• Use in recipes such as Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Loin, Slow Cooker Cranberry Meatballs or even cranberry fluff!

How to store fresh cranberry sauce:

• Place into airtight containers. Place in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge for 24 hours before needed.
